My Thoughts:
This one somehow got by me when it came out. I don't even remember seeing a trailer for it before getting the DVD. But I must say, after watching it (the unrated version), I found I enjoyed it very much. I do think it has a bit of a slow start... but it definitely picked up for me... and by around the half-way mark I was completely hooked. There is a few very good laugh out loud moments here. I recommend checking it out if you never seen it.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

My Thoughts:
This is one of the movies that was recently given to me. It is one I never even heard of before getting it. Going by the cover I didn't have to high expectations for it... but before popping the movie in I decided to check Youtube for the trailer. The trailer gave me some hope that I would enjoy it. But I was still a little cautious. I didn't really care for the opening effects. They just seemed a cheesy to me. But then the movie itself did a lot to be desired. I have seen worse horror movies... but this one has some pretty bad acting.... a bit over the top. The only one in the cast that even did a half way decent job is Corbin Bernsen... but he was only in the first 10 minutes of the movie! Really... this is nothing more then an average horror movie. At least I wasn't expecting much... so not really disappointed.

Director: David Solomon

This was the first time that I have watched this series. When it originally aired, I stopped after the first few episodes. Am I glad that I gave this series another chance. My thought was that it really paid off that I gave Firefly a second chance. Now Joss Whedon has proven, that he has yet to disappoint me.
This series really got good after the first few episodes, when the focus switched from the single mission episodes to the arc episodes which focused on the other dollhouse employees.
The final episode is a great conclusion. Even though this series did not have a long life, it got the chance to do a proper ending. Personally I prefer series, which only are one or two seasons long. Then it is easier to rewatch at some point.
